Translation:Mishnah/Seder Zeraim/Tractate Berakhot/Chapter 5/3

Hebrew Text

האומר:

"על קן צפור יגיעו רחמיך",

ו"על טוב יזכר שמך",

"מודים מודים" –

משתקין אותו.

העובר לפני התיבה וטעה –

יעבור אחר תחחיו,

ולא יהא סרבן באותה שעה.

מנין הוא מתחיל?

מתחלת הברכה שטעה בה.

English Translation

One who says [to Hashem]:

• "To the nest of a bird does Your compassion reach!"
• "On the good shall Your Name be mentioned!"
• "Modim Modim" (repetition of the prayer)

[We] silence him.

One who leads the prayer service {lit. "passes before the ark"}, and falters;

[the congregation should] replace him with another.

And he [who is asked to serve as the replacement] should not [courteously] refuse at such a time.

And from where should [the replacing leader] begin?

From the beginning of the blessing in which [the first leader] faltered.
